The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India had constituted a High Powered Enquiry Committee (HPEC) to enquire into all aspects of the incidents relating to violence at Jantar Mantar, Delhi, and at places outside Delhi, during the month of July 2026.

For the convenience of the affected people, including the affected police personnel , the HPEC has launched a portal http://hpec.nic.in.

The Delhi High Court ruled that Niva Bupa Health Insurance Company Limited’s suit against a social media influencer over allegedly disparaging posts does not qualify as an intellectual property dispute and cannot be heard by the Intellectual Property Division.

The suit, CS(COMM) 1032/2026, was found to be not maintainable before the IP Division because it did not concern the infringement of any intellectual property right belonging to either plaintiff.

Because the research team wanted to track real changes in the population, they divided the catch by fishing effort, which covers both the number of vessels and how efficient their gear is.

The researchers acknowledge that because spinetail devil rays are long-lived and reproduce slowly, 10 years is likely too short to detect evolutionary changes in body size.

Researchers found that drift gill nets — the gear characteristic of small-scale fisheries in Thoothukudi — accounted for 98.9% of all mobulid landings.

Between November 2024 and July 2025, A7 processed at least 283 tons of cash rubles, worth more than $14 billion, an investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and Russian independent media outlet Proekt has found.

Last year, a ProPublica investigation revealed that the U.S. kept importing generic drugs from foreign factories after inspectors had identified quality and safety lapses at the sites, including leaks, mold and contaminated water.

Current generic drug labels often include only the location of the packager or distributor, which can be thousands of miles away from the actual manufacturer.

The Brazilian National Data Protection Agency (ANPD) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of digital platforms according to new legislation approved in Brazil.

Without that clarity, this could negatively impact beyond gaming and major platforms that are the main target of these regulations.

Here too, ANPD has a critical regulatory role after a Supreme Court’s decision and presidential decrees changed the liability regime initially set in the law known as “Marco Civil.”

CISA added CVE-2025-39964, affecting Linux Kernel, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.

Linux Kernel contains a race condition vulnerability which allows concurrent writes to the same AF_ALG socket causing data to be unpredictably interleaved and creating inconsistencies in the socket's internal state.

The catalog lists 2026-09-21 as the due date; that date had passed by this edition.

In Alpharetta, Georgia, for example, WIRED found that records from the city’s Flock cameras were accessible to more than 2,000 agencies, including police departments, colleges, airports, and, inexplicably, the Office of Inspector General for the federal General Services Administration.

The hackers said they were able to access the Android system on the camera and found two partitions—sections of its hard drive, essentially.

The Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission launched into space on an H3 rocket from the Tanegashima Space Center at 04:41 JST on 20 October 2026 (20:41 BST / 21:41 CEST on 19 October 2026).

MMX will be the first spacecraft to orbit Mars’s moon Phobos, the first to collect samples from this moon's surface, and the first to return to Earth from the Mars system.

Here is the complete record of the investigation, the evidence chain, and a one-liner defense that permanently shuts it down.

Tatum did not commit to a specific timeline regarding the announcement of any team deals for the NBA Europe project but is confident things will be in place for the intended tip-off next year.

While Tatum refused to divulge details of any negotiations that have taken place with the EuroLeague, he did respond to questions posed about their 10-year business plan, and how the NBA’s proposal is expected to create “significantly more value” and bring a “much quicker pathway to profitability”.

Months after the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approved a road expansion proposal to expedite oil tanker truck transit through Utah's Nine Mile Canyon, three environmentalist groups have joined forces on a lawsuit to stop the project from progressing.

The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance (SUWA), the Nine Mile Canyon Coalition (NMCC), and the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) jointly filed the complaint on October 6, alleging that the Trump administration deliberately obscured and sidestepped the approval process and rejected the public's requested involvement in the decision.

In his 2026 book The Emerging Science of Machine Learning Benchmarks, Hardt makes the provocative case that these measuring sticks have been broken for decades already: Benchmarks, he writes, are “the mistake that made machine learning.”
